Climate change is one of the greatest environmental challenges facing the world today. It is recognized that climate Change and its associated extreme events will have a wide range of effects on the environment and socio-economic sectors. Recent experiences of the nation have shown that Bangladesh is vulnerable to climate change. This study has attempted to investigate the effects of climate change on economic growth over a period 1980 to 2022 for this study. The empirical findings show that climate change with a proxy variable of temperature has a significant and negative impact on economic growth proxies by real GDP. Conversely, climate change with a proxy variable of rain fall has a significant and positive impact on economic growth on average. Along with these proxy variables other explanatory variables incorporated in the model such as population and human capital having negative-significant and positive-significant impacts on economic growth respectively. Thus, in order to solve the severe impact of climate change with an increase in temperature, climate-related programs (mitigation and adaptation) and policies which reduce the emission of greenhouse gases via using alternative energy sources should be implemented.
